Quote:we will all get a different results based on previous surfing habits that Yahoo cookies are phoning home.
Funny shit… LOL… and entirely possible. But this method of using cookies has been in existence for a long time, such as with Doubleclick – and I’d think that if Yahoo were going to try something like this they would do it with GREAT care and advance warning.
I’m not too worried about MSN yet – but you think they could have started on something like this about 5 years ago? LOL… but when they do it, it will monopolize your computer (ie. with Longhorn as you suggested) and the rest will probably find themselves in a bit of trouble.
Meantime? Watch Google as it tries to right the ship – the results right now still stink to high heaven, but at least it isn’t the pre-Florida cesspool. And watch Yahoo who seem to have gotten off to a pretty good start for a “new” engine.
Targetted search based on geography is not good for the average surfer. When I go to lycos and look up online casinos all I get are land based casinos in the edmonton and calgary area (major cities around me)
Hopefully if they do offer local or country search, the user always has the option to over ride it.
